Anyone got Fibre broadband? Getting it on the 18th, but I was thinking, are many sites capable of sending things to you that fast?

What are the speeds?

You mean mine? The one I'm supposed to be getting is up to 40mbps. What we have right now is 1mbps.

40mpbs will work great for like torrents and stuff, assuming theres alot of people seeding. You'll get crazy speeds. I used to have those same speeds with a different provider. Soon I will be upgrading to the same package but it'll be 60mpbs. 4 Aces

You'll get those speeds with major sites no problem.

Na, I know about speeds and all that, thing is that the jump from 1mbps to 40mbps is absolutely massive, but the jump from 40 to 60 isn't that big, really. Say when we have these speeds, and we both had to download something that's 12gb, going full speed throughout, I'd have it downloaded in 6 minutes, you'd have it in 3 minutes 20 seconds. However, sticking to my 1mbps, I'd have it in a whopping 3 hours and 33 minutes. So you see what I mean. If you're paying the same as me for this speed, fair enough, but if you're paying like twice as much, you've been robbed.

Who are you getting it off, and how much is it?

We'll be paying pretty much £100 a month for ours. But we have all sorts of shit. Sky Sports, ESPN, Multi-Room, line rental etc. I've been trying to get the mother and brother to get it from the start, since running 2 PC's, a Tablet, 3 Phones and a 360 off it is not good at the moment. Only thing is the internet goes off every night. Hopefully the new router will solve the problem.

If I was you though I'd have stuck with 20mbps, unless you can get a few extras, plus 60mbps for a few quid extra.

EDIT: Also, I think you mis-understood my original question. I meant when I get these speeds, will websites be able to send me stuff that fast I.E Steam.

Steam should give you a full download speed 4 aces considering they have nice connection/servers on their end.

That's good. At least I'll get full use of the speed from at least one site.

I do a lot of downloading myself. Mostly torrenting games to use them as a demo before I buy it.

These speeds will come in handy for when Steam games mess up and I have to redownload them.

I always stop mine seeding immediately when they finish. I know I shouldn't but meh.

LOD-squa isn't it against Neo rules to talk about Illegal downloads in the Forums?
